Euro Breaks Below 1.28 On A Weaker Services PMI

Yen Plunges as BOJ Delivers, BOE and ECB Now in Focus

The Japanese Yen plunged in overnight trade, down as much as 2.6 percent against its major counterparts in overnight after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) announced an aggressive expansion in monetary stimulus efforts. Policymakers said they will target an outright expansion of the monetary supply from here, aiming to expand it from ¥138 trillion by the end of last year to ¥200 in 2013 and ¥270 in 2014 with a the goal of achieving a 2 percent inflation target.

The central bank will buy about ¥7.5 trillion in Japanese government bonds (JGBs) per month and lift the restriction on maturities eligible for purchase to achieve a reduction in borrowing costs at the longer end of the yield curve (the previous limit was 3 years). The maturity range for the BOJ’s holdings is expected to be around 6-8 years on average. In addition to JGBs, the BOJ will also purchase ETFs and J-REITs at a pace of ¥1 trillion and ¥30 billion per year, respectively.
